Not Sure What to Get? Try a Local Favorite
As a local restaurant, we take our Bemidji pride seriously. But we're more than the (many) plaques on our wall declaring us the best restaurant in the city. We are locally owned and operated and are happy to employ friends, neighbors, and other community members. Don't even get us started on our many events throughout the year that show the community how happy we are to serve them every day.
What really sets us apart is that our menu contains made-from-scratch dishes and cocktails that reflect the love we feel toward our community in every bite. Yeah, we're getting sappy, but it's hard not to with a menu this good. Don't believe us? Try one of the following local favorites for an authentic Bar 209 experience.
Start Your Meal Off Right With Tasty Appetizers
Ready to dive right in? We like your style. From traditional wings to unique creations like Thai lettuce wraps, there are plenty of appetizer choices to keep the whole table happy.
Mac and Cheese, Better than Mom Ever Made
Want to know how we get our mac and cheese to be so creamy and cheesy without being too dense? Just kidding, that's our secret. What's not a secret is how much our customers love our mac and cheese options, ranging from the mouthwatering Gooey Mac to one-of-a-kind creations like Brisket Mac.
Sink Your Teeth Into One of Our Burgers
Meat, cheese, bread — the perfect combination, right? While we certainly don't want to mess with perfection, we're not above adding to it and taking a burger from wow to WOW. For example, we wouldn't be a respectable Midwestern establishment without adding cheese curds to at least one menu item (technically we've added them to several items but the Curd Burger is one of the best). Or you can satisfy your appetite with the Smash Burger, which features not one but two smashed and grilled patties with all the fixins for a truly delightful meal.

Reviews
The food, service and atmosphere were incredible. I love that you can see the kitchen. Everything feels so clean and perfect here. The Thai lettuce wraps were to die for! Highly recommend.
Awesome local restaurant. Over two meals, my son and I had two great experiences. We tried two of the mac and cheese dishes and a burger. I had a local Bemidji Being Red X ale that I totally enjoyed. The service was very friendly and attentive.
Came in to Bar 209 with some buddies and had an amazing experience. Great food, great atmosphere and really enjoyed our server Tierra. She was very attentive and made it such a fun time! This bar was much more than we expected and we will definitely be coming back.
